Bebo Is Forcibly Changing Usernames

I really hate it when sites mess around with user names. The way Second Life forces you to choose a last name. The way Google makes everybody a gmail.com email address (to Google, I am now stephen.downes.ca@gmail.com - how ridiculous!) - and this change by Bebo. Leave our user names alone! I don't go around changing Google's name to Gargle! or Bebo to Bobo. Or Second Life to Second Wife. My name is my identity; it is mine, and companies that mess around with it eventually see the last of me. Yes, even Google.
